Creating A Basic Path For Enemies
I am unsure of how to achieve this in UnityScript:
1.Save all GameObjects with tag 'way' to an array
2.Sort the array alphabetically
3.Each 'way' object contains 4 GameObjects saved to variables named : 'path1' 'path2' 'path3' 'path4' in a script called 'WaypointScript'. Based on a number I supply it (1-4) it must go through the Array and save each path object from each way object in another array.
For example: Should the number supplied be 3, it would run through each way object and add the path3 variable to a new array. Resulting (If there were 4 way objects) with an array containing way1's path3, way2's path 3, way3's path3 and way4's path3.
Thanks a lot, I hope to learn from any answers I receive (Im not just being lazy)
Hang on, think I'm getting my head around it - why are you storing them as path1, path2 though - surely that should be an array as well?
There will only ever be 4, so I just created 4 different variables. Personal preference I guess.
$$anonymous$$uch harder to write the code to access them though...
well you can make an array:
GameObject[] Path = new GameObject[4];
and here you have 4 new Game Object and you access them
Path[0] = ... ...;
and you can do a for loop if you'll have to
there you can't
I'd suggest you put your path1, path2 etc into an array. Then you can get your new array like this:
import System.Linq;
...
var taggedObjects = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("way");
var pathNumber = 3;
var path3 = taggedObjects
.OrderBy(function(g) g.name)
.Select(function(g) g.GetComponent(WayPointScript).path[pathNumber-1])
.ToArray();
Using your existing method:
var taggedObjects = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("way");
var pathNumber = 3;
var path3 = taggedObjects.OrderBy(function(g) g.name).Select(function(g) {
var wayPointScript = g.GetComponent(WayPointScript);
if(pathNumber == 1)
return wayPointScript.path1;
if(pathNumber == 2)
return wayPointScript.path2;
if(pathNumber == 3)
return wayPointScript.path3;
if(pathNumber == 4)
return wayPointScript.path4;
}).ToArray();
Im getting a missing $$anonymous$$ethod exception for .OrderBy
I don't understand that works fine for me - see attached:
